Best for tracking and returns for Indian stores
Shipway tracks couriers, sends branded notifications, follows up on non-delivery and handles returns and refunds for Indian stores. A 7-day trial covers 500 shipments, but the pricing page shows a pay-as-you-grow plan without prices, and the experience site and the main shipway.com aggregator are separate things.
Who Shipway is for
- Fits if you ship within India and want branded tracking pages
- Works for stores that chase non-delivery and returns by message
Who Shipway is not for
- Skip it if you want posted prices, as Premium shows none
- Tight if you want to try it longer, as the trial is 7 days and 500 shipments
- Not for you if you need courier booking at discounted rates, since it centres on tracking
- Watch out: the experience site and shipway.com are separate offerings
- Watch out: it is built for shipments in India
Why Shipway gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe Premium plan is pay as you grow and no prices are shown, so it cannot be set against the category's $9, $19 and $34.99.
- DFree plan and trialA 7-day free trial covering 500 shipments, and the listing does not say whether a card is needed. After that, nothing is free.
- CFeaturesTracking, branded notifications, non-delivery follow-ups, returns and refunds, reviews and analytics. It is tracking and post-purchase, not courier booking.
- CEase of useNo store rating is on record. Store and courier connections have to be set up.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Shopify, Magento, WordPress, OpenCart and CS-Cart. No phone or desktop app.

Keep Shipway, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Shipway you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Reports and review collection: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Shipway’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
